This is my second week of the 100WCGU and this week's prompt is '... but where does the water go...'. Quite an appropriate prompt considering the appalling weather we've had on the island this past week. We live far enough away from town and the harbour in Ramsey to have escaped the floods but many people and businesses have not been so lucky. The island has been battered by winds, rain and tidal surges but the one saving grace in all this catastrophe is that people were better prepared than on previous occasions.

Here's my contribution to this week's 100WCGU: #116 ... but where does the water go ...

But where does the water go, do you knowTell me, which way does our torrent flowDoes it ebb and flow from side to sideOr in and out, like it does with the tideWhen the dam just breaks and emotions bubbleSalty water flows at the first sign of troubleAn endless trickle just rolls down my face It’s time for a change but do I leave this placeDoes it seem to you that I am okI grow tired of the games that people playFeelings of loathing continue to growTell me now, but where does the water go?
